Lynn conceded four goals for the second successive game as they saw a 2-0 lead brushed aside by the promotion hopefuls.
There were two changes to the Linnets starting line-up with Cameron King and Simeon Jackson coming in for Michael Gyasi and Alex Babos who dropped to the bench.
Lynn started brightly and should have taken the lead on 10 minutes when Jackson was played in by King but his shot was saved by the legs of Sam Johnson in the home goal.
Three minutes later Lynn took the lead, a delightful cross from Tyler Denton found Michael Gash who volleyed home from close range for his fourth goal of the season.
The Shaymen responded and began to dominate but the Lynn defence held firm with timely blocks and Theo Richardson, when tested, did well to keep out a Martin Woods' shot.
Lynn went two up on 25 minutes. A Jackson shot was blocked, the ball falling kindly to Sonny Carey to score.
Halifax continued to try find their way back into the game and were rewarded with two late first half goals. On 42 minutes a Neil Byrne ball into the box was finished off by Billy Chadwick and three minutes later the Shaymen were level when a Luke Summerfield free kick found Jake Hyde who carefully controlled the ball before firing home.
Two further goals in the fifteen minutes following the restart buried Lynn's hopes of getting anything from the game.
Hyde went close on 48 minutes and two minutes later he set up Halifax's third holding up the ball before setting up Summerfield to shoot from the edge of the box.
On 58 minutes the scoring was completed when an Ethan Coleman mis-kicked clearance fell into the path of Jack Earing to score with ease.
Lynn never gave up and looked dangerous going forward creating chances, one seeing Carey go wide with a close range effort.
At the other end, however, Halifax had the ball in the net twice following defensive errors but fortunately for Lynn they were disallowed.
